Having problems with your HP Pavilion dv1000 Notebook ?

Power Problem I have 2 hp laptops and it seems after a few years the you place the AC powercord into the laptop and after a few minutes the power charging light goes off and the laptop can not get power. I need to play around with the cord and the light goes back on but will go off again after a few minutes. Why and what can be done about it?

Answers :

Sounds like normal wear and tear, you might need a replacement. I'd suggest looking on eBay to help save money. Or you could proably order one from HP

My HP Pavilion dv9700 was over heating and would shut off. Then it wasn't over heating and would shut off. Now it won't turn on at all. The power cord is working and the lights go on for a second while I am pushing the button to turn it on, but the computer won't turn on. HP told me the problem was the motherboard. Do you think that's really the problem or could it be something else?
